Admitted into Spring Semester

<p>I just received an acceptance letter in the mail, but its for spring semester... meaning that I'd start class in January 2013. Im not sure how to feel about this. I really would love to attend UNCW, but don't want to feel behind or left out from the rest of freshman who started in the fall. I have been accepted to College of Charleston for the fall and I might end up just going there. I'm just very confused and don't know what to do! Anyone else in the same boat?</p>

<p>My D was also accepted into spring semester. We are from NY, and I had encouraged her to apply to UNCW because the OOS tuition is less than any of the other OOS schools she applied to in the NE (all of which she has been accepted into for the fall semester). She doesn’t want to wait until spring, and after I factor in several round trip plane tickets, we decided the savings really didn’t add up to much. She is now deciding between going to her OOS dream school and taking on significant debt, or going to a SUNY school which I will pay in full. She is leaning toward the OOS, at least for 1 year, and then she will decide if it is worth it or if she wants to transfer to a NY school. Maybe not the smartest decision, but she knows she will have to work summers/work study/etc. and she is going to try it.</p>
